THE Baltimore Manufacturers'Rec
ord publishes its semi-annual review
of the South's industrial progress this
week. 1t shows the establishment
of over eight hundred new enter
prises since the first Of January last,
with an investment of $161, l92, OOC
capital. Alabama leads the list with
$32,6Sl, 900, and Tennessee comes
next with $26, $3.50, 900. This looks a
good deal like business.

a CORRESPONDENT in the New
Era Of last week holds up the prOhi-
bitiOn movement as a great scare
crow to frighten weakened Dem
Ocrats to vote for whisky. Prohibi-
ton is characterized, in the head
lines, as ga deep political scheme
projected by the Republicans to
weaken the Democratic party" The
correspondent quotes at great length
from an interview with Mr.. w. Jen-
ningS Demorest, of New York, in
which that over-zealous crank tries
to make somebody believe that the
prohibitionists are going TO go6ble
up both the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties, with the mugWumps
and Henry George and his labor
crowd for sauce. One little sentence
in Mr.. Demorest's remarks destroys
I'LL the force of his vapory etfusion

with any man who will think for a
minute and a :.half. He says, "as
the only principle of the prohibition
party is a great and moral one and
cannot die, you see how it is bound
to triumph in the end" The idea of
a political party with one principle.
1t would present an aspect about as
ridiculous as an old rooster with
one feather in his tail. That prohi-
bition is a political question, we don't
presume any one who comprehends
the meaning ofthe term will for a mo-
ment deny, but we do most positive
ly affirm that it is in no sense a party
question in Tennessee. 1t is pre-em-
inently a great moral question, and a
measure which good men of every
possible shade of political opinion
can heartily embrace without doing
violence to their party ties. Our
allegiance to the Democratic party is
not in the slightest measure impaired
by our advocacy of prohibition, and
our position is not in the remotest
degree inconsistent with Democratic
principles.

WE are frequently asked if the
STANDARD has lost any subscribers
by its advocacy of prohibition. Yes,
we have lost a few, but we are glad
to say that the number is much small
er than we expected it would be, and
can be counted on the fingers of one
hand, and our gains could be multi
piled by the losses several times.
We are glad to know that so few of
the readers of the STANDARD who
honestly oppose prohibition have re-
sorted to this silly manner of express
ing their disapproval. We advocate
prohibition because we believe it is
right, just, and to the best interest of
all ages, classes and conditions of peo-
pie. We believe the entire people of
the State will profit by it both fnan-
cially and morally. We don't claim
that the law will absolutely prohibit
all use and traffic in intoxicating
liquors. We do not believe that it
will reform every old topper in the
State, or that it will prevent them
from drinking. But it WiW close the
doors of over two thousand saloons
in Tennessee, and thus remove temp
tation from thousands of men whom
they have robbed of the power to re-
sist. 1t will cease the legal sanction
of a destructive and unholy traffic. II
will comfortably feed and clothe
thousands of women and children
who are now insufficiently fed and
clothed. 1t will reduce the crime in
the State to a minimum. 1t will in.
crease the population, wealth and
revenue of the State. 1t will increase
the number of happy homes in the
State. 1t will make sober men and
good citizens out of hundreds of mer
now worthless vagabonds. 1t will
lessen crime and advance education.
good morals and religion. 1t will
put the accursed stuff out of reach 0,
the boys, and create a higher, purel
moral atmosphere in which to train
up the rising and future generations
and the result will be a truer, noblel
type of manhood.

weapons for the anti-prohibitionists

are so enormous that thousands of
